DEE CONSERVATION CODE
The Conservation Code for the 2023 season, as set by the Dee District Salmon Fishery Board is that all salmon, grilse and sea trout should be returned. The Conservation Code recommends that all injured or damaged fish become the property of the Estate after 1st April. Before 1st April all fish killed must be returned to the river. Please note spinning is not permitted at Park.

FISHING
Park reserves the right to bring in other rods should rods fail to arrive or to fish at a reasonable level.
Park is a private estate and the family reserve the right to decline any specific booking or other request. If guests wish to change during the period of let this can be accommodated by prior arrangement.
The fishing huts are provided as shelters and lunch huts and are not to be used for any other purpose except by prior arrangement.
Rod allocation will be at 9:00 am by the ghillie. At 1:00 pm the rods shall rotate beats as appropriate. Fishing before 9:00 am shall be with the prior agreement of the ghillies. Fishing after 5:00 pm will also be with prior agreement of the ghillies.
One rod only per beat except in high water when the ghillie may double up with the agreement of the opposite bank. Under no circumstances shall two rods fish any pool from the same bank at the same time.
Multiple rod use e.g. two or more people sharing a rod, is not allowed. With the Estate’s permission a rod may be able to transfer their rod to another fisher.
Please note spinning is not permitted at Park. If guests are found fishing by any prohibited method or are in breach of the terms and conditions herein, they will be required to remove themselves immediately from the Estate and the let will be terminated forthwith without any compensation being payable.
Park requires prior notice of any serious medical conditions. An angler with a serious medical condition must be accompanied by an assistant/ carer.
We regret that we are unable to change the beat rotation under these circumstances if the relevant bank is fully booked.
